Hi all,

Thanks in advance,

For every 3 months I will take backup of the entire data and will delete all the data before 3 months so that only current 3 months data will be maintained.

Regards,

Jeevan.

For this one You have to create a Job

Go through the below link for How to habdling Josbs in sqlserver
Jobs in sql server[^]

You have to maintain last 3 months data.., Don't TRUNCATE the tables(as Wasif) said, this leads to a Data Loss.

Execute DELETE Quires in Job that delete only before 3 months data..,
At time of Job execution You have total 6 months data(if you are executing it for every 3 months)
